Trees provide many bene-

fits to the environment, the

economy and people. For

trees to provide those bene-

fits they must be healthy.

An important component in managing

trees is to have the right tree properly located

on a site. The key is to select the right tree spe-

cies (and cultivar) that will meet the planting

objects, and at the same time allows the tree to

grow to its full potential on the designated site.

As new research accumulates expound-

ing the benefits of urban trees, we see more

options in tree choices and planting configura-

tions to maximize best management practices

in tree care. These two converging concepts

provide more strategies to achieve the objec-

tives of tree care and resulting benefits.

By planting the right tree in the right

place the benefits that may result include re-

duction in heating & cooling costs, reduced

urban heat island effects, stormwater manage-

ment, fire-resistant landscapes, pollution

mitigitation, and an increase in health and well

-being.
